This report presents findings from a 2019 online survey of 1,295 active-duty military servicemembers and their spouses. 907 servicemembers, 291 spouses or partners of a servicemember, and 97 respondents who were both a servicemember and the spouse or partner of a servicemember completed the survey. The objective of the project is twofold: (1) to expand on the first military survey we conducted in 2017 and; (2) to get a better understanding of the experiences and views of military families in America toward K-12 education. In addition to the 2017 survey, this study is now the second of its kind to survey active-duty servicemembers and their spouses on a wide range of education-related issues, and to gauge their attitudes toward education choice policies, such as education savings accounts (also known as "ESAs"). [The report was funded by the Challenge Foundation. To view the 2017 report, "Surveying the Military: What America's Servicemembers, Veterans, and Their Spouses Think about K-12 Education and the Profession," see ED600679.]
